Andre Schürrle knows what it means to operate at the edge. World Cup finals, 80,000 people in the stands, a body and mind shaped for constant performance. But the real breaking points didn’t come in the stadiums.
In this episode of Going Mental, Jan Frodeno sits down with André to talk about mental and physical limits: where they are, how they shift and why he keeps chasing them long after football. From elite competition to ultraruns, MMA sparring, cold exposure and nights where quitting feels inevitable, André explains why he now deliberately puts himself in situations where control disappears and honesty begins.
They explore what happens when your body shuts down, when motivation collapses and when there’s no crowd, no contract, no reward. It’s a conversation about obsession, pain, solitude and the fine line between pushing yourself and breaking yourself. About why suffering can strip everything away except truth and why finding your limit is often the only way to understand yourself.
This episode goes deep into discomfort, endurance and the psychology of going all the way.
